The Campeonato Brasiliense, also known as Campeonato Metropolitano de Brasília or Campeonato Candango, is the football league of the Distrito Federal, Brazil.

Teams from other states can be affiliated to the Brasilia soccer federation (FBF) as long as they are located within 200 KM from Brasília. This is the case of Associação Atlética Luziânia from the state of Goiás and Sociedade Esportiva Unaí Itapuã from the state of Minas Gerais.
